Rick has probably seen more WWII stocks than any of the authors of any of the Garand books. He has specialized in repairing military gun stocks for years and was instrumental in repairing many of the Wisconsin barn stocks as well as stocks from private parties. He has made copious notes and photographs of what he has seen. He is highly regarded by most, if not all, the Garand researchers. He has time and again gone out of his way to post photos and information on these forums in an effort to share his knowledge. Your sarcasm is uncalled for.
It wasn't sarcasm.
